Wow, thank you!
Mike, I did live in California, in the Nevada City/Grass Valley area (near Tahoe, in the mountains, so quite a bit north of LA- more or less northeast of San Francisco or Sacramento). I recently moved to Oregon though, and live on the coast, less than half a mile from the beach in Bandon. It's lovely- perfect weather for me (no summer heat at all, and cold but not frigid winters), stunning scenery, beautiful Old Town, lots to do. I do miss where I moved from, I loved it there too, but in many ways this is an improvement.
Before I last lost my way here, I think that I was pregnant or maybe had just had a baby. He just turned 3 years old, and is experimenting with pickiness (he turned down crab-stuffed portabella caps tonight, very surprising) but I'm hoping that will be a short phase and he'll be back to eating the things that I like to cook, and that my 12 year old son likes to eat, soon enough. He's never had a chicken nugget or whatever else kids are supposed to only like. He's somewhat of an enigma to me sometimes, though, as he dislikes both asparagus and avocado. Which are, in my opinion, two of the most perfect foods.
For the scientist, as for the poet, there are as many levels of wonder in the silent beat of a butterfly wing as in the howl of a wolf.
